Seventh Entry

Long time, no see! Moving has been crazy. Its kind of been obstacle after obstacle. First it was the keys, then I opened my oven and had no racks, and then MY CAR GOT TOWED because there was a website that no one told me about for parking. So I dead ass had to pay $250 for the towing fee (no way it really costs that much) and then $20 a day for guest parking until my permit gets approved. Insane. 

It's been good though! I've been learning how to cook different things and decorating. It's been super fun getting to decorate. I have a cork board that I put a ton of pictures on and stuff, and I hung it ALL MY MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's harder to center it and make sure its level than it seems. 

Today was a good day. I got ready and took my dog on a walk to the "beach". It's just Lake Michigan. It was his first time on a beach and I think he loved it! I'm glad that the walk back was long enough to shake all of the sand off of his paws. I'll put some pics below:)

Thank you for still checking out my blog while I've been away! Peace and love! <3

Sixth Entry

Hi!! I apologize for the missed post yesterday. I promise once I have my wifi installed on Thursday I’ll be more active. It’s more difficult to post when I’m doing it on my phone!

Yesterday was the longest day ever. I woke up at like 7:20 to get ready, because my mom was meant to be home at 8:10 with the UHaul. I go into her room at 7:30 to see if she’s finishing up getting ready and she was still asleep. I was soooooo pissed. It takes about an hour and a half to get to the city, and I had an elevator reserved from 11am-1pm. We were supposed to leave at 9 so I’d get there at 10:30ish so I could fill out some paperwork and get my keys. None of this happens. My brother and I left around 9:30 while my grandpa finished packing up the truck. My mom sat and did nothing because her neck hurt. I got to the city around 11 and turns out for the first payment they needed a cashiers check, I had no clue what that was. So I ran to the bank and got it, but before I could do that, my mom went into the leasing office and started yelling at the staff for whatever reason. I apologized a billion times after she left.

I get back from the bank and get my key. It is not working. It’s not even a real key. It’s a key fob. So I hold it up to the sensor and it flashes red. I’m going to spare some time and details, but I got my key yesterday at 12pm, and finally got it to work today at 11am. I know it doesn’t sound like a huge deal, but I had to go down and let my dog out throughout the day. AND the bigger part is, I had no food. I placed a grocery pickup and was planning on doing it after my family left. But my key did not work. I dead ass had no food. I finally got it fixed this morning and I scurried to pick up my grocery order.

Anyways, crazy day. I finished unpacking my boxes though. I just have to decorate:)

Fifth Entry

Busy day today!! I'm packing up the last of my stuff (turns out there's a lot of it) before I move tomorrow. I have a lot of clothes. I always underestimate that part. I forgot that I needed to pack all of the organization stuff in and on my desk, which will definitely require another box. 

My mom cried this morning about my dog moving out. I've been coming and going for the past 4 years during undergrad, so my dog has been at home the whole time because I lived in a dorm. We've had a dog in the house for the past 13 years, so this will be a huge change for my mom. We had my old dog from 2013 to 2025 and we've had my current dog from 2019 to now. She definitely had a stronger connection with my old dog, but seeing her so upset over my current dog leaving made me realize how much she really loves him. 

Anyways, I have to get back to packing and I have to put my computer in my backpack, otherwise I'll totally forget to bring it. Maybe I'll update with some pics once I'm all moved in :-)

Fourth Entry

Super late entry today compared to normal, but it's a Saturday. I move in two days and did absolutely no packing today. I was supposed finish up the rest of that and go get a new bulb for my cars headlight but uhhhhhhhh I slept literally all day. I decided to take a nap around 1pm for 45ish minutes and then I woke up and it was 4:30pm. 

Since I slept literally all day I don't have much to say today, maybe I'll have a longer post tomorrow! :-)

Random Day Recap!

 I normally don't post this much in a day but I had SUCH a good day!!! Today was my last day in the office and my boss brought donuts and gave me a plant and a Target gift card :,) she's so sweet. Everyone stopped in to say goodbye. I went on lunch and one of the girls I nanny texted me that she was in the office today for the sentencing trial that her mom was on. Not sure if I can say what the guy did on here, but let's just say he got 70 years in prison. That was a huge win for today. The family's statements of passion were really good. I almost cried. 

After the sentencing trial, I took the 2 girls I nanny to 7brew (which was a 25 minute drive) but their mom paid for drinks so that was nice. When we were 2 minutes away, one of the girls saw a Café Zupas so we swung through after 7brew and I got tomato soup and a sandwich because they have the all time best tomato soup. THEN I got home and I saw that my dog got a haircut. THENNNN I realized that today was Friday so my favorite streamer will be streaming tonight (Jenn McAllister). Anyways, that's all:)

Entry 3.5

Wait I've been looking at other people's blogs over the past couple of days and they're all cute and have no dreadful diary entries!! I think I'm blogging wrong or something because I must get way too serious. Maybe I need to switch to cute aesthetic blogging omg

Third Entry

I had an odd day yesterday. I think in my last post I mentioned that I had to go get fingerprinted for a job I'm starting soon. If not then whoops. Anyways, I went yesterday to go get fingerprinted and realized that my grandma's retirement home was a mile away. My grandma has pretty severe dementia, so I was unsure if she would know who I was during this visit, but thankfully she did. She was asleep most of the time because of the medication she takes, but that was pretty expected. None of that was the odd part. I walk in and I saw that my great aunt and my uncle were there. I love my great aunt, she is very sweet. My uncle was the surprise. I'm not sure that he likes me very much because I'm "woke" but I don't really care. My great aunt asked me about grad school and when I'm moving in and such. My uncle didn't have much to say, per the usual.

He doesn't like that I am going into a "soft and gushy" profession. Social work is apparently "too woke" and it's "easy". It makes me really upset when he says that. It's not easy. His job was easy. He went to undergrad so business, and right out of undergrad he started forking for my grandpa where he got paid $200,000+ a year. He barely did anything. Oh well, I don't think he'll ever understand and I'm done trying to explain it. The weird part of this visit was that he invited me to dinner with him and my great aunt. We went to a place that serves Scandinavian food. My family pretty much all comes from Scandinavia. He didn't really acknowledge me during dinner. I wondered why he invited me. Oh well.

Today is my last day in the office. I brought in donut holes. Everyone is excited which is nice. My boss gave me a plant and a Target gift card which was nice. I don't have anything to do today, per the usual. I feel like I've done quite a bit with my blog so I'm not sure how to update it anymore. 

One thing that I won't miss about the office is everyone talking about their GLP-1's. I don't really care if someone is on a GLP-1, I think it is a great tool, but they talk about it every day. They all talk about their weight and it is so awkward to hear it all. I don't know, I just wish it wasn't so often.

I think that's all I have for today. I'll check back in tomorrow :)
